Music Before becoming a hypnotherapist Glenn made a living as a musician playing in pubs, clubs and restaurants. Glenn has written many songs over the years. Some have been published and some have won prizes in major song writing competitions.
In his teens, as a punk rocker, Glenn played the bass in a band called The Vagrants who morphed into the Sugar Ray Five. In 1983 they won £10,000 in the BBC1 National Battle of the Bands competition. Paul Gambaccini was the head judge who raved about their sound and songs. They were then signed to a major label, released a couple of singles and appeared on various TV shows. Alas, their all too brief taste of success came and went like Halley’s Comet.
Later on, Glenn and his ex-wife Alyson (a talented vocalist who was a member of The Anderson Sisters) began writing songs together. A few years later, they started performing as a duo called Wishful Thinking, playing cover songs in clubs, pubs, hotels and restaurants.
Towards the end of the ‘90s, Glenn moved away from the covers circuit to focus on building Diviniti Publishing, which is still the main label for his hypnosis recordings. Glenn still occasionally writes and records songs and some of his songs can be heard on his SoundCloud page.
